Location of University of Bremen
Europe is undergoing a process of continuous integration. The Maastricht and Amsterdam treaties have focused attention on establishing a European Union. Hence the European Community, which was launched more than forty years ago with the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, ECSC, and progressed as the European Economic Community, EEC, to the European Single Market in 1993, is approaching completion.
The European Community and its legal rules have had a more significant influence on the present and future professional practice of lawyers than any other development in the preceding years. More than three quarters of the regulations governing economic life today are already subject to Community norms. European economic integration has created increased challenges and scope for professional development for lawyers.
The Faculty of Law in Bremen offers law graduates a Post-graduate Degree in European and International Law designed to prepare them for the specific professional demands of the European Single Market and facilitate their pursuit of an international career. The major courses include European Community Law, International Private and Economic Law as well as an introduction into the leading European legal systems. A European and international legal career requires lawyers to have the ability to communicate and negotiate in the most important working languages of the Community - English and French. The postgraduate programme responds to this need by offering courses and seminars in both German and English, with certain lectures being held in French.
The academic staff of the Bremen LL.M. programme is drawn from professors and assistants of the Faculty of Law, the ZERP (Centre for European Law and Policy), guest lecturers from partner universities abroad and lecturers specialising in relevant areas.
Study visits to the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions, ECOSOC, the European Parliament, the Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank form an integral part of the Programme; introducing the participants to Community Law in practice.
After successful completion of the final examination, students are awarded the ‘Magister/ Magistra Legum Europae’ (LL.M.Eur.).
